When I came to have a look around Barchester Rose Water Place, I was given a very warm welcome from all the staff I met. I was very impressed with the atmosphere, the layout, the comfort and the facilities. I was happy to leave my husband there for a week's respite. His room was very homely. The staff
were very helpful and obliging when it became necessary to extend my husband's stay, due to my own illness. When I collected him, he appeared to have been very well cared for. Friends and family who visited him were also very impressed with the standard of the home and the welcome they received.

Head chef and staff went beyond the call of duty to give us a lovely Christmas lunch in the private dining room for four of us for our good friend in residence. P.S. Take your own corkscrew as the home doesn't have one.

Thank you for the feedback, David. We have changed our wine list now to ensure we wouldn't need any more corkscrews in the future!

Rose Water Place was recommended to us by the Admiral Nurse. After visiting several other homes in the area, we felt it would be very suitable for my wife and this has proved to be the case. The design and layout of the building are excellent, all members of staff are extremely helpful, kind and cheerful
without exception.

My brother has been a resident in Rose Water Place for a month. He has settled well and all staff are dealing with him in a kind and sensitive manner. There is a clear understanding of him and his needs. The group activity is varied and my brother is participating more than I expected. Thank you all.

We have been overwhelmed by the kindness, support and care given to my aunt and our family by all the staff. Rose Water Place is a homely environment where all the staff make us feel welcome. The food and presentation are of a very high standard with a beautiful dining room. The amazing positive change
in my aunt in the short time she has been there is such a comfort to us. The staff are always so friendly and have time to chat. The cake chef makes everyday for the cafe is something we look forward to and having this family time in a beautiful environment. We cannot thank the staff enough for making this move as smooth as it could be. We had Sunday lunch in the private dining room where we were spoilt with the quality of food and the chef and kitchen assistant were so kind. Thank you for your care and support we are very grateful.

Reply from Hadrian Rodriguez, General Manager at Barchester Rose Water Place

Thank you for the feedback. We are pleased that we are able to provide that homely environment, and the family is reassured of your aunt's care. Can't wait to share some cakes again with you!

My dad has been at Barchester Rose Water Place since mid-June and he absolutely loves it there. They have so many activities each week which keeps him busy and no day is the same. The food at Rose Water Place is amazing and a good choice each day! The carers at Rose Water Place go above and beyond to
make sure my dad and other residents are getting the support they each individually need. The whole team and Rose Water Place are all so kind and welcoming, I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for their loved ones.

My Aunt came to the home at the end of June after being elsewhere for five months. I cannot speak too highly of the home itself and the staff who have had all the patience needed to settle my Aunt in and make her feel that she is now at her permanent home. The change in her over the four weeks since
being here has been amazing. She talks to everyone, is walking around, socialising, is now eating and is no longer sitting in her room all day by herself as she was in her original care home. My Aunt is now very settled and therefore we as a family are as well.

Reply from Hadrian Rodriguez, General Manager at Barchester Rose Water Place

Thank you for the kind words, Jan. From assessment to admission and now her permanent stay at Rose Water Place Care Home, your aunt has always been a delight as you are, and we are happy to coax her out of her shell and ensure that she joins life-enriching activities. We strive to provide great care and support, and your feedback is important to us.

My husband was well looked after during his respite care, his room was spacious and very clean. The carers were very caring and attentive. The food provided was varied and looked delicious. They were interested in what interests the residents had and tried to incorporate some of those interests. I have
booked my husband in for another respite break in October.

Reply from Hadrian Rodriguez, General Manager at Barchester Rose Water Place

Thank you for the feedback, Lynn, this is much appreciated. It was our pleasure to get to know you and your husband. We can't wait to see you all again in October.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) out of 10 for Barchester Rose Water Place is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.928 for Barchester Rose Water Place is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.928

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.985 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Rose Water Place is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.985

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
